Joker's Wild

As I said some time ago, as a post-Ofsted treat to myself I bought a luxury. The Batman Miniatures Game figures are lovely but waaaay to expensive for me to make a habit of it.

Anyway, the first of the two minitaures I ordered turned up just before Christmas; it is the Joker as he appears in Moore's peerless The Killing Joke as drawn by Brian Bolland:

I made a couple of palette changes; I felt the gloves in another shade of purple didn't help and a blue would make the miniature pop a little more. I also added pinstripes to the trousers to help differentiate them from the jacket.

Anyway, here he is









Cylon Raider is up next, followed by an X Wing repaint.

As one door closes...

So the viper is done. Just the beauty shots to do:

While waiting for the Klear coat to dry I was also able to finish off the Carnosaur:

I'll do a summary post on that with a collection of all the process pictures on the next couple of days. 

And finally I stuck together this little laughing chap: 

So he's up next as I start on the Cylon Raider. 

If I don't get anywhere with that before let me wish everyone a happy new year!

The Man Who Grins

This was a lovely miniature so I took the time to paint it to slightly better than tabletop standard.

I've rather proud of how he came out. Obviously the basing is yet to be decided.

He will function as the boss of a nefarious IHMN Company; now I just need to find some goons to support him.
